Tahionao

(Nirina Ranoelison)

Tahionao ley Ndrañahary
Toy Tanindraza-ay toy e !
Tsy harofy tsy harary,
Fa tanindraza tsy foy.

Reo mpitondra firenena,
Arovy tsy ho tia tena.
Mba homeo fo hendry,
Fa iha avao ro mpanendry.

Ty tani-ay amboaro,
Mba hitovy amin’ny maro;
K’aza ambelanao ho resy
Amy reo ditra mifanesy.
Ireo vahoaka maro,
Ampio mba hahatiaro
Anao Ray Tsitoha,
Lolohavina an-tampon’ny loha.

Tahionao ley Ndrañahary!
Ireo tsabon’ny olo,
Mba tsy hisy ny mosary;
Tsy hisy koa ny kondolo.

Ka haliño koa reo tsy mana,
Mitseky fa tsy mahita,
Fa Iha ro nama
Hitariky anay ho tafita.
